CROCODILE (CROss-COrrelation retrievals of Directly-Imaged self-Luminous Exoplanets) runs atmospheric retrievals of directly observed gas giant exoplanets by adopting adequate likelihood functions. The code makes use of petitRADTRANS (ascl:2207.014) and PyMultiNest (ascl:1606.005) and provides a statistical framework to interpret the photometry, low-resolution spectroscopy, and medium (and higher) resolution cross-correlation spectroscopy.

PynPoint processes and analyzes high-contrast imaging data of exoplanets and circumstellar disks. The generic, end-to-end pipeline's modular architecture separates the core functionalities and the pipeline modules. These modules have specific tasks such as background subtraction, frame selection, centering, PSF subtraction with principal component analysis, estimation of detection limits, and photometric and astrometric analysis. All modules store their results in a central database. Management of the available hardware by the backend of the pipeline is in particular an advantage for data sets containing thousands of images, as is common in the mid-infrared wavelength regime. This version of PynPoint is a significant rewrite of the earlier PynPoint package (ascl:1501.001).

PynPoint uses principal component analysis to detect and estimate the flux of exoplanets in two-dimensional imaging data. It processes many, typically several thousands, of frames to remove the light from the star so as to reveal the companion planet.

The code has been significantly rewritten and expanded; please see ascl:1812.010.
